Stokes in Peru

Greetings again everyone, I hope spring fever has caught all of you back in the States and that the sun is shining upon you. Life has been going pretty well for Marianella and I in Peru. As you have seen throughout this blog, Marianella has been doing a pretty good job of showing me around Peru, but our travels up until this time have been around central and southern Peru. With a week-long vacation on Marianella's schedule last week, we took a few days to explore a bit of northern Peru. Our initial plans were frustrated (fog canceled our flight), but we were able to regroup and have a very enjoyable vacation in northern Peru, as you will see below. Trujillo Trujillo is the largest city in northern Peru and was actually where the groundswell for independence from Spain originated. Located along the Pacific coast the plane took little over an hour (think Minneapolis to Chicago) to land us in this wonderful city, which rapidly moved up our list of favorite cities in Peru. Maria
